The ping pong balls bounced Boston’s way last night and the Celtics landed the #1 pick. Even though the conventional wisdom is that Boston will take Washington guard Markelle Fultz, but Colin thinks they should trade the pick.

He doesn’t believe that adding a rookie is going to help put them in a position to legitimately compete against Cleveland next year. Even if the pick pans out, it will likely take 3 or 4 years before they can have a playoff impact. By that time, the current roster will have missed their window. They should package assets and explore adding a Paul George or Jimmy Butler, and hopefully convince Gordon Hayward to sign in free agency. Trade the pic

The Lakers are the biggest NBA Draft lottery winners

The Lakers scored the 2nd pick in last night’s draft lottery and avoided a potentially devastating scenario where they fell out of the top four and lost their pick to Philly. The road is now paved for the Lakers to draft Lonzo Ball and possibly begin the road back to relevancy. Colin thinks Ball to the Lakers will have an immediate gate impact, which will be evident as early as the summer league.
